The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) of British Columbia has gone too far. I've HAD ENOUGH this patronizing branch of provincial government.
In the past few month I've noted how the LCLB has affected citizens and business owners in BC:
- Meddling in Non-profit fundraising activities of The Belfry Theatre in Victoria
- Imposing ridiculous laws on culinary/drink celebrations like Feast of Fields
- Incomprehensible distribution rules affecting makers like Island Spirit Distillers on Hornby Island who have to ship their product to Vancouver first.
- I'd just like to go to a public event and enjoy a beer or wine, without being herded into a fenced-off area minded by hired security guards/baby-sitters.
To the LCBC I say: BACK OFF! We are adults.
The rules for small distilleries are absolute insanity. Why ship to Vancouver just to bring it back to the island? These people need to stop killing our local businesses.

I am so tired of being treated like a child at these festivals! I just want to drink my wine in peace without being locked in a pen like cattle. Let us be adults for once.
